Really ticks a lot of boxes for City IMO, although I feel for the talent in the academy - City's academy is almost as good as Chelseas and arguably on par if not better than ours.De ligt wants Barca. City want De Jong to play at the base of their midfield.
I think we have very good talents too - wouldn't argue they are on the level of De Jong, especially not at this point, but the potential is very high. We should be recruiting in positions of need though, even at that level. We lack LBs (Saka notwithstanding), GKs, RWs and specific type of CM (a more controlling type of player). So far, we have one - Matt Smith, and it's not really a given whether he makes it.
